Sport Management B.S.Kinesiology, School of
College of Education and Human Development
The sport management major focuses on contemporary sport as a product of social, psychological, and economic phenomena. Because of its prominent role in our culture, economy, and societal behavior, sport is a popular subject for academic inquiry. Graduates may find employment in sport marketing and management, sales and fundraising, coaching, sport administration, and sport or other fitness-related occupations. The program also prepares students for graduate study in sport management.
Coursework in sport management addresses such topics as ethics and sport, sport as a sociocultural phenomenon, sport management, sport marketing and promotion, and facility and event management.
Features of the program include an 8-credit experiential course, research methods, a senior seminar, and a set of focused electives.
